Flint Street Nativity shows Mizzis Horrocks' class of seven year olds as they prepare to perform and perform to their proud mums and dads. Squabbles arise when Gabriel wants to play Mary, the Star grumbles he's not a proper star like they have at NASA, Herod won't stop waving to his mum and dad and the subversive Innkeeper is determined to liven up the traditional script. And then the stick insect escapes... The children are played by adults, who later play their parents so the set changes accordingly to reflect the difference in scale. This musical play was first performed to critical acclaim at the Liverpool Playhouse.
